Smile continuation of wirings...

Run these wires and air lines under the carpet to the center console...

Set the struts' 36 way adjustable dampener to basic setting by first turning the adjustment ***** fully clockwise (you are now on the hardest setting), then adjust 2 full turns counter clockwise (about 12 clicks-you are now on basic setting). This will be your baseline setting. You may turn clockwise to hard and counter clockwise to soft depending on your preference and driving style and condition...

Double check all the wirings and connections. Once you have verified that everything is correct, you may start your car and let the compressors fill the tank. Once the tank is filled, fill the bags at approximately 80psi. Check each bags and fittings for leaks by using a spray bottle with soap and water solution. If you find any leaks, release the pressure and fix the leak properly. If there are no leaks, you may mount back the wheels and remove the car from the jack stands.

You may now start cleaning up your cluttered wiring by using those wire organizers and label each group as needed.

You have done a GREAT JOB!

That's pretty sweet!

Still not sold on body kits in general but air suspensions are pretty cool.

You were probably surfing the net . I did the install piece by piece after work and sometimes I tell work if I can work at home certain days .

Thanks!

For real? I always hear people say that but I always wonder just how similar it is. It's one of the main reasons that I don't want to hurry up and buy coilovers just for ride height... I think a Lexus should ride like a Lexus.

Yes for reals!

Since the struts are 36 way adjustable, you can taylor the dampening to your liking.

With springs, they go by spring rates. The higher the rate the stiffer the ride. It is similar with air bags. The higher the air pressure the stiffer the ride will be too.
